"Best Jazz Venue in Capital Region" - Metroland 2003

9 Maple Avenue is an intimate, forty seat jazz bar set deep in the heart of Saratoga Springs, NY, home of the finest thoroughbred racing in the world during July and August.

Our jazz club is in a two story, brick building circa 1880. The bar itself was built by hand in 1990; it's a beautifully detailed, Victorian, mahogany piece with a traditional saloon motif. A center piece of the bar is a porcelain tap head thrown by one of the world's renowned potters, Regis Brodie.

We have the largest selection of single malt scotches in New York State and a martini menu of over 250 choices - plus a wide selection of bourbons and Irish whiskies.

Our green walls and mahogany makes our club cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Truly a comfortable and relaxed place to unwind after a long day at work or the track!

Open daily at 4 p.m. For information, call 518.583.CLUB
